42-year-old woman killed, son arrested in Montreal’s first homicide of the year
MONTREAL — A 42-year-old woman is dead and her 21-year-old son has been arrested in what Montreal police say is the city’s first murder of the year.
Police spokesperson Mariane Allaire Morin says a 911 call came in Thursday morning for a welfare check at a home in the LaSalle borough, west of downtown Montreal.
Inside the home, officers found the woman’s body, which showed signs of violence.
Allaire Morin says the 21-year-old was arrested later in the day and the death was officially declared a homicide.
Documents provided by the prosecutor’s office say Tyrell Rytar is facing a second-degree murder charge in the death of Lisa Marie Rytar, and indicate the death occurred Tuesday.
Allaire Morin says the suspect does not have a criminal record.
